Conditions in Oxygen: how show/hide content based on UTM tags?
Starting from version 2.4, Oxygen has a powerful and useful "Conditions" functionality. More details can be found in the official documentation. Using the conditionals feature, we can now hide or show certain site content depending on the fulfilment of conditions. This can be useful, for example, to create hidden content only for subscribers of the site, or to create paid closed sections. In addition to the 26 built-in conditions, we can now create unique conditions using the API.
Cases of using conditions may be different and are limited only by your need and imagination. In this tutorial, I want to share with you my experiment on hiding content based on UTM tags. See an example of how this works.
I'm still testing it, but it seems to be working well. And so, I tell you how to do it step by step.
Step 1
Install the Code Snippets plugin, if you haven't installed it yet. We will need to add a small amount of PHP code to register our conditions.
Step 2
Create a new snippet Snippets > Add new (for example, I called it "Testing UTM-tags", but you can give it any name you need). In the snippet field, paste the following code and save the changes:
if( function_exists('oxygen_vsb_register_condition') ) {
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM source', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_source_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_source_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_source'])){
 $utm_source = $_GET['utm_source'];
 setcookie("utm_source", $utm_source, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_int($utm_source, $value, $operator);
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM medium', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_medium_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_medium_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_medium'])){
 $utm_medium = $_GET['utm_medium'];
 setcookie("utm_medium", $utm_medium, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_string ($utm_medium, $value, $operator);
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM campaign', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_campaign_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_campaign_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_campaign'])){
 $utm_campaign = $_GET['utm_campaign'];
 setcookie("utm_campaign", $utm_campaign, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_string ($utm_campaign, $value, $operator);
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM content', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_content_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_content_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_content'])){
 $utm_content = $_GET['utm_content'];
 setcookie("utm_content", $utm_content, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_string ($utm_content, $value, $operator);
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM term', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_term_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_term_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_term'])){
 $utm_term = $_GET['utm_term'];
 setcookie("utm_term", $utm_term, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_string ($utm_term, $value, $operator);
In this example, I set the cookie lifetime to 5 days. This means that if a user comes to the site via a link with a UTM tag, then each time he visits the page, conditions will work until 5 days have passed, or until he clears the cookie in his browser.
If you need to set cookies for a longer or shorter period, then on each line $expire=time()+60*60*24*5; replace 5 on the value that you need (in days). To save cookies for a specific condition or not, we will configure further in the next step.
Step 3
After registering conditions at the second step, in the list of conditions in the Oxygen editor, we should have new conditions: UTM source, UTM medium, UTM campaign, UTM content and UTM term. Next, we need to adjust the conditions for hiding / showing a block with content depending on our conditions.
Suppose that we need to track the source (utm_source tag) from Google ads. Our link with the UTM can look like this:{network}&utm_content={creative}&utm_term={keyword}
Now we need to create a condition, if the source is Google, then show on the page a special block that is initially hidden.
Variant 1: without tracking cookies
In this case, the block will be shown every time, but only if the link has an UTM tags. If the user enters this same page without any tags, the block will not be shown.
Create a condition for our block by selecting from the list - UTM source and writing a word equal to the value of the tag - google.
Oxygen Conditions: how show/hide content based on UTM tags?
Save the result and check.
Thus, we can track the value of any of the UTM tags (not just utm_source).
Variant 2: with cookie tracking
In this case, the block will be shown when you first visit the link with UТM. If you refresh the page, or visit the page without the UTM tags, the block will still be shown to the user over the entire lifetime of the cookie (in our example, this is 5 days, or until the user clears the cookie itself).
To do this, we will definitely need to change the condition type to OR and add an additional standard Cookie List condition in which we need to specify the value corresponding to the value of our UTM tag:
Set type Oxygen Conditions
set cookie conditions in Oxygen
Now the block will be displayed only if the url contains the word google OR cookies contains the word google.
That's all. I hope this article has been helpful to you.
Hey. This block is shown because you clicked a link with a UTM tag. Follow the link without UTM tags and you will not see this block. For convenience of testing in this example, cookies are not recorded.
Follow the link with the UTM tag and another block will be shown in this place:
go to the link
In this article, I showed only the simplest example of how much my fantasy was enough. If you have another task, have questions or requests, write your comment below.

The cross grid encoder is an optical diffraction grating type encoder to measure two-dimensional position of a optical head by using a grid plate where grids are aligned orthogonal to each other. The cross grid encoder can be applied to measure two-dimensional motion errors of high-precision and ultra-precision machine tools, such as the straightness error or the squareness error. As a basis to establish a methodology to measure evaluate motion accuracy of highand ultra-precision machine tools by using the cross grid encoder, this paper presents a self-calibration scheme of a measurement error of the cross grid encoder caused mainly by the misalignment of grids. The measurement error corresponding to the location on the grid plate is calibrated by comparing three measurements taken with different orientation of the grid plate. It is experimentally validated that the measurement error of the cross grid encoder is reduced by about 85% at maximum by applying the self-calibration and the compensation of measurement errors.

Although the availability of semaglutide in Gambia is unclear, there are alternative medications and treatments for type 2 diabetes and obesity that may be more accessible in the country. Some of these alternatives include:
- Metformin: A commonly prescribed medication for type 2 diabetes that helps control blood sugar levels.
- Glyburide: An oral medication that stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, helping to control blood sugar levels.
- Insulin injections: Injectable insulin can be used to help regulate blood sugar levels for those with type 2 diabetes.
- Lifestyle changes: Adopting a healthier diet, increasing physical activity, and losing weight can all help improve blood sugar control and overall health.
Where Can I Purchase Semaglutide in Gambia?
If semaglutide is available and legal in Gambia, it would likely be found at pharmacies and healthcare facilities. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist to determine if the medication is available and appropriate for your needs. Additionally, you may need a prescription from a healthcare provider to obtain semaglutide or similar medications.
What Are the Penalties and Enforcement for Semaglutide in Gambia?
As the legality of semaglutide in Gambia is unclear, it is difficult to determine the penalties and enforcement for the use or possession of this medication. However, it is important to follow the laws and regulations of the country and to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before attempting to obtain or use any medications that may be restricted or illegal.
How Do Government Laws and Links Affect Semaglutide in Gambia?
Government laws and regulations play a significant role in determining the availability and legality of medications in a country. These laws can affect:
- Which medications are approved for use and sale in the country.
- Whether a medication requires a prescription from a healthcare provider.
- The importation and exportation of medications.
- Penalties and enforcement for the use or possession of restricted or illegal medications.
In Gambia, the Ministry of Health is responsible for overseeing the regulation of medications and healthcare. To determine the legality and availability of semaglutide or any other medication in Gambia, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional, pharmacist, or the relevant government agency.
Is Ozempic Available in Gambia?
As of now, information regarding the availability of Ozempic, also known as semaglutide, in Gambia is not readily accessible. It is important to contact local healthcare providers or the Gambia's Ministry of Health for the most accurate and current information. Access to specific medications can vary widely from country to country, depending on factors such as import laws, patent statuses, and supply chain logistics.
Is Ozempic Approved in Gambia?

To improve the load-carrying capacity of steel structures there are mainly two methods of using cover-plate which are the preflex method and multi-stepwise thermal prestressing method. However a prestress applied to the top flange of H beam is less than the bottom flange because these two methods have small eccentricity. It is necessary to develop an advanced feature of prestressing method which efficiently increases load-carrying capacity and prestressing efficiency. Therefore this study proposes a cover-plate prestressing method with increased sectional stiffness and prestressing efficiency, called multi-stepwise thermal prestressing with steel brackets. To evaluate the prestressing efficiency and load-carrying capacity of the proposed method, prestressing application tests and static loading tests were conducted on three H beams. The multi-stepwise thermal prestressing method with the steel brackets had higher displacement induced to the H beam and higher tensile stress in the top flange than in a case without the steel brackets. Also, when prestress is applied, the tensile stress in the cover-plate significantly decreased with the installation of the steel brackets. The static loading tests showed that the installation of the brackets increased the stiffness, the yield load, and ultimate load of the structure, compared with an unreinforced girder, which meant higher load-carrying capacity than a conventional thermal prestressed structure without brackets.

Monasca metrics definition
asked 2020-01-18 05:50:47 -0600
Chiara S gravatar image
Hello, I'd like to know a couple of things regarding monasca.
1) Monasca metrics have always to be defined from the CLI manually or there are libraries from where I can import them (and eventually I can do so)?
2) There's very little documentation regarding how to define a metric, so any help is appreciated. For example, this is the only hint I found from the Openstack documentation, regarding the metrics creation:
metric-create:
 monasca metric-create cpu1 123.40
 monasca metric-create metric1 1234.56 --dimensions instance_id=123,service=ourservice
 monasca metric-create metric1 2222.22 --dimensions instance_id=123,service=ourservice
 monasca metric-create metric1 3333.33 --dimensions instance_id=222,service=ourservice
 monasca metric-create metric1 4444.44 --dimensions instance_id=222 --value-meta rc=404
What's the meaning of the value after "metric1"? and what about dimensions and service? I'd like to understand in full detail about this. Thanks in advance for any help.

Showcasing Manipulate[…] via .GIF animations
GROUPS:
When we create Manipulate or Animate and would like to showcase them on Wolfram Community site, a cool way is to make an animated GIF file of it. It would be also great if this GIF file could contain motion of controls, so people can see what they do. We can apply Export function to Manipulate with .AVI or .MOV or .FLV formats. This will make a movie that can show all motions of controls and content of Manipulate. But from a movie to a GIF there are just a few steps. This function below does these steps. It basically exports Manipulate to a movie, imports it as "ImageList", and then exports it again as a GIF. Because Mac and Windows have different native movie formats we need to auto-detect them. The result of the function is two files – one is a movie and another is an animated GIF saved in default directory. Here is the legend for arguments:
 - man - variable representing Manipulate
 - name - pure name of the file without any extension
 - step - which every frame to pick: 1 - original no compression, 2 – every 2nd compress twice, etc.
ManToGif[man_, name_String, step_Integer] :=
Export[name <> ".gif",
 Import[
 Export[name <> Which[$OperatingSystem == "MacOSX", ".mov", $OperatingSystem == "Windows", ".avi"],
 man],
 "ImageList"][[1 ;; -1 ;; step]]
 ]
Let's see how it works on an example. Here is a Manipulate with 4 controls: 2 sliders and 2 locators.
man = Manipulate[ContourPlot[
 q1/Norm[{x, y} - p[[1]]] + q2/Norm[{x, y} - p[[2]]], {x, -2,
 2}, {y, -2, 2}, Contours -> 20, PlotRangePadding -> 0,
 Frame -> False, PlotPoints -> 40, ImageSize -> 230,
 ColorFunction -> "DarkRainbow"], {{q1, -1}, -3, 3}, {{q2, 2}, -3,
 3}, {{p, {{-1, 0}, {1, 0}}}, {-1, -1}, {1, 1}, Locator},
 Deployed -> True, FrameMargins -> 0];
Here is the result of the function:
ManToGif[man, "charge", 2]
Any suggestions how we can improve this function?
 - To make it work faster
 - To make smaller .GIFs
 - Any other way…
P.S. - A few things to note:
 - Control the screen size of GIF by controlling size of Manipulate content.
 - The smaller the screen size, the smaller the byte size.
 - By default Export will generate an animation by running the Manipulate through one Autorun cycle.
 - AutorunSequencing is used when a Manipulate expression is exported using Export to a dynamic format.
 - Use AutorunSequencing to specify how autorun should use the controls provided.
 - When a Manipulate output containing explicit bookmarks is exported to a video animation format using Export, the resulting video will be one cycle through the sequence generated by Animate Bookmarks.

The function, ManToGif, is very interesting to me. It does not work on Mathematica 10.0.2 of Mac OS X Mavericks.
Would you give me a suggestion how to solve this problem?
POSTED BY: Yoshihiro Sato

Hi Yoshihiro Sato,
I have tried that on MMA 10.0.2 and OS X Mavericks and it is running without any problem. A little slow, but it does run.
Vitaliy, that is very useful. I have been using terminal commands such as convert to generate animated gifs. Promoted by your post I tried to find alternative approaches. I started out trying to use the GUIKit package
Needs["GUIKit'"]
but I failed miserably. I have, however, an alternative approach to yours. I am not saying that it is better in any way. I am just posting it because I think that the approach is different from yours. Also it runs a bit faster on my machine, it avoids exporting mov or avi files and it gives a lot of control over the slider movement. Here it is:
frames = Flatten@
 Table[Manipulate[
 ContourPlot[q1/Norm[{x, y} - p[[1]]] + q2/Norm[{x, y} - p[[2]]], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, Contours -> 20, PlotRangePadding -> 0,
 Frame -> False, PlotPoints -> 40, ImageSize -> 230, ColorFunction -> "DarkRainbow"], {{q1, n1}, -3, 3}, {{q2, m1}, -3, 3}, {{p, {{-1, 0}, {1, 0}}}, {-1, -1}, {1, 1}, Locator}, Deployed -> True, FrameMargins -> 0], {n1, -3, 3}, {m1, -3, 3}];
Export["~/Desktop/frames.gif", frames];
It lacks the elegance of your approach but it gives a video:
enter image description here
It should be easy to see how to change the positions of the locators etc in a predefined way.
Cheers,
M.

Hey folks, Marco has a great approach - thank you!
There is also a one-liner ala my original version. Use "AVI" for Windows and "MOV" for Mac:
images = ImportString[ExportString[Manipulate[x + y, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}], "AVI"], "ImageList"];
This makes the set of images that can be exported to a .GIF:
RandomSample[images, 8]
enter image description here
As you can see all controls are varied. Now tips.
How to define motion of controls. - read the tutorial: Introduction to Manipulate
One reason to care about the details of AutorunSequencing is that it is possible to use the Export command to automatically generate an animation video (in, for example, QuickTime or Flash format). By default Export will generate an animation by running the Manipulate through one Autorun cycle. If AutorunSequencing does not give you enough control over the animation sequence, you can use the Bookmarks feature to define a list of "way points" - combinations of parameter values - and then create an animation that smoothly interpolates through those defined points. This allows complete control over the exact path of the animation. When a Manipulate output containing explicit bookmarks is exported to a video animation format using Export, the resulting video will be one cycle through the sequence generated by Animate Bookmarks. (If no bookmarks are present, the result is one cycle of Autorun.)
To NOT display controls - use "ControlAppearance"->None, for example:
Export["file.mov",
 Manipulate[Plot[Sin[x (1 + a x)], {x, 0, 6}], {a, 0, 2}],
 "ControlAppearance" -> None]
Yet another interesting approach. - read docs on VideoFrames
Export["frame001.png", Manipulate[ . . . ], "VideoFrames"]
-- this exports list of frames in a defined format (.PNG in this example). Works in combination with discussed above Manipulate options.
I hope this helps!
POSTED BY: Vitaliy Kaurov

Dear Vitaliy,
this is indeed very nice and useful. I was trying to implement something where I would have a Manipulate window. A Dynamic or RunScheduledTask would regularly check whether my Manipulate window has changed. If so, it would save a gif frame of the current Manipulate-window and save it into a frame-list. The advantage would be that you can manipulate the sliders directly and whatever you do would be "recorded" by the frame-list. Of course, I could use a program such as GifGrabber to just capture the Manipulate interface. But it is more fun to do it with Mathematica directly.
Cheers,
M.
PS: Did you mean use "AVI" for Mac and "MOV" for Windows?

About the Famous Abstract Art Thai Zodiac
In this Famous Abstract Art, our artist features the wholeness of everything in the universe in the center of the artwork. The One Universe symbol shows the subject of unity across the earth, ocean, and sky. The important element in the composition of the One number is Sam Kasat. In Thai words, it means the Three Kings. It is a combination of the three very valuable elements including gold, silver, and copper.
The Three Great Kings of Thailand are King Ramkhamhaeng (the creator of the Thai Alphabet), King Naresuan (Father of Thai Army), and King Taksin (King of Thonburi). Those are the greatest Kings who had made Thailand a better Kingdom. They had a significant role while the Siam Kingdom went through touch times.
Surrounding the One Universe symbol, the artist depicts the Twelve Thai Zodiac-Animals circle. In traditional Thai culture, each animal symbol represents a year cycle in a repeating twelve-year period. The zodiac reflects a person's nature's personality of cycles.

text: An approximation is proposed to evaluate the steady-state performance of kanban controlled two-stage assembly systems. The development of the approximation is as follows. The considered continuous-time Markov chain is aggregated keeping the model exact, and this aggregate model is approximated replacing some state-dependent transition rates with constant rates. The approximate aggregate model is, then, decomposed into submodels and a product-form steady-state distribution is obtained for each submodel. Finally, the submodels are combined in such a way that the size of the problem becomes independent of the number of kanbans. This leads to the computational advantage in solving the combined model using numerical matrix-geometric solution algorithms. Numerical comparisons of the combined model with simulation, exact model, approximate aggregate model and an approximation in the literature show that the proposed approximation performs well in terms of accuracy and computational burden.


NYC Wi-Fi Hotspots Interactive Visualization
December 14, 2018 - All
Image result for NYC wifi hotspots locations
Click to see the finalized NYC Wi-Fi hotspots interactive visualization in Tableau Public.
The project is to visualize the WiFi hotspots in New York City, which is the extension from my fourth lab project. Public WiFi hotspots are physical locations where people can obtain Internet access. They usually created by a business for public use, often found at airports, libraries, train stations, etc. The public can access the wireless connection by using a laptop or other suitable portable device, which is really beneficial that public like budget-tight students can gain tremendously from it. Even though public WiFi hotspots cannot guarantee the reliability and have some risks such as low security and low speed, they become more and more important in the modern society since the internet has become the basic amenities for the modern public.
For this project, based on the dataset—NYC WiFi Hotspot Locations from NYC Open Data, I aim to create an interactive visualization that can inform people of the exact locations of the WiFi hotspots in New York City, supported by analyses of the properties and configuration of the hotspots. By using Tableau Public, I intend to build a useful tool that people can search a specific WiFi hotspot and know its properties that may be helpful for them to plan to go.
1. Exploring deeply the dataset and deciding the design directions for the visualizations.
I first tried to find the data that have some degrees of relationship in between and may deliver useful information. For example, I found the data "postcode" and "number of records" may help to advise the number of hotspots in a region; I can use "location type" and "provider" to tell what the WiFi location type the provider supports. Ultimately, I decided to use the five primary data—"provider", "location", "location types", "connection types", "number of records", and "postcode" to form the four design directions:
 - The providers' hotspot locations
 - The number of WiFi hotspots in a region
 - WiFi connection types supported by providers
 - WiFi location types and their connection types
2. Grouping the data that is trivial
Before I started visualizing, I found the data "location type" contains some insignificant information that may not be useful or too trivial for people to know when searching a specific WiFi hotspot. For example, in the following picture, the data "indoor ap – community center – computer rm" includes too much minor details. Therefore, by using the internal grouping function from Tableau, I grouped them into four big categories and created another column for the new location types—indoor, outdoor, library, and subway station.
Figure 1. The original location types vs. new location types
3. Creating the visualizations respectively based on the four directions
A. The providers' hotspot locations
This is the main visualization for people. People can use it as a tool to locate a specific WiFi hotspot, knowing its provider, connection type, and location type. To best inform the locations, I created a dot map. Each dot is a WiFi hotspot location, and people can know the exact address of each hotspot with the tooltip when hovering over the dot. Also, I applied different colors with the color legend to differentiate the providers. In addition, to enhance the usability, I added the three filters—connection type, provider, and location type, so that people can quickly locate the WiFi hotspots they want by using these filters.
Figure 2. The providers' hotspot locations
B. The number of WiFi hotspots in a region
I used the postcode to create a choropleth map that reveals the average values of the regional number of WiFi hotspots with the hue progression. The darker color means the more numbers of WiFi hotspots in the region. When hovering over a region, people can know the postcode and number of hotspots in the region with the tooltip. I think people may get a sense of how WiFi hotspots distribute in New York City through this map.
Figure 3. The number of WiFi hotspots in a region
C. WiFi connection types supported by providers
I think the bar chart is the best way that people can compare different values at a glance. Providers are on the vertical y-axis, and the x-axis is the number of hotspots. Besides, I used different colors to represent different connection types that the provider supports. From this bar chart, people can know that most of the providers set up free connections and LinkNYC has the most numbers of free WiFi hotspots. I also created a connection type filter for people if they would like to see only one type of connection in a one time on the bar chart.
Figure 4. WiFi connection types supported by providers
D. WiFi location types and their connection types
I think location type is also an important point that people may concern when seeking WiFi hotspots. Same as the above, I also used a bar chart with connection type category to compare the four types of locations. The result uncovers that most of the WiFi hotspots are outdoor and over half of them are free.
Figure 5. WiFi location types and their connection types
4. Integrating the four graphs
I integrated the four graphs in the Tableau dashboard together and made the main three filters—provider, location type, and connection type applied to the four graphs that use these three data sources so that these four will vary at the same time when people apply the filters. With this way, I think people can gain more comprehensive information when interacting with the visualization.
Figure 6. Integrating the four graphs
1. Methodologies
After the interactive visualization was ready, I would like to know how ease of use of the interactive visualization was, so I started to prepare the usability testing and would like to see how people would interact with it.
For the testing, I built two versions of the interactive visualizations. One was with normal three main filters; another was to use the two bar charts as filters.
The aimed audience of the visualization can be anyone who seeks WiFi hotspots near his place or the target place. Therefore, I recruited three students to participate the usability testing and prepared to ask them to do the following tasks based on the two versions of visualizations—
A. Take a moment to explore the visualization and let me know what do you learn from each graph.
B. You are seeking AT&T WiFi outdoor free hotspots only and would like to know which region has the most number of this hotspots.
C. You are a commuter, seeking WiFi hotspots in subway stations. How many numbers of the subway hotspots in New York City? What's the connection type of the subway hotspots?
After the participants achieved these tasks, I asked them the following post-task questions—
A. How easy is the visualization to understand? (Rating from 1 to 5, 1 = difficult, 5 = pretty easy)
B. Any frustration that can be further improved?
2. Findings and improvements
Participants all think that the interactive visualization version A is easy to use and straightforward to comprehend the information from the four graphs, while the version B with two bar charts as filters is problematic even though the layout looks nicer and cleaner than the version A. Participants didn't know that the two bar charts are filters at the first glance and didn't realize how to return back once they clicked a specific bar in the graph. That means the usability of version B is pretty low. Participants even could not complete the tasks, so I decided to choose version A as the final visualization and some details can be further improved.
A. The title of each graph should be general to tell the main information.
One of the participants was confused about the titles for the two bar charts because he could not differentiate the main information of these two bar charts if he just looked at the title. For example, the title, location types and connection types, is not clear for him to know what the main information of the graph is.
Figure 7. The titles of the graphs are not clear to tell the main information.
Therefore, I renamed the title to only one main information that I would like to deliver to the audience, so I changed "providers and connection types" to "providers", and "location types and connection types" to " location types". The connection types on these bar charts are the supplement and secondary information.
Figure 8. New titles for the bar charts
B. The application of the filters should be obvious
According to the feedback from the participants, they originally thought that the filters were only for the dot map, so they feel surprised that the filters actually can be applied to the four graphs. I think it is maybe because the filters are all clustered next to the dot map.
Figure 9. All filters are clustered next to the dot map
To make the application of the filters more distinct, I tried to make each filter separated from each other, having gaps between them. In this way, I think it would be better to understand that the filters are for controlling the four graphs.
Figure 10. Filters are separated and have gaps between them.
C. Keeping color consistency is good but should care about not to mislead.
I kept the same colors for the choropleth map and the two bar charts. It looks nice but it actually would cause the misunderstanding. One of the participants thought that the color in the choropleth map had the same meaning as the bar charts, stating the dark blue means the region has more limited free WiFi hotspots.
Figure 11. Same colors in different graphs may have different meanings.
Thus, I changed the color progression to green in the choropleth map, hoping it won't be mixed up with the meaning of the colors in the two bar charts.

Coloured wax model of a female, half skeletal, half living and dressed in regency clothing, England, _PHONE_
This lady is dressed in Regency clothing typical of the first half of the 1800s. She is skilfully created out of wax. She is half woman, half skeleton. The statue may have been made for one of three reasons: a darkly comic novelty, a 'memento mori' (a reminder of death), or a teaching aid. She is paired with a separate male statue (A78827). These two examples of regency waxwork were exhibited in Montreal, Canada at the International and Universal Exposition in 1967.

Do Tea Bags Expire?
If kept in conditions with low light, room temperature, and low moisture, tea bags won't mold and can last for years. Most manufacturers list the expiration date for tea bags as 2-3 years after their production, however, it also remains true that if you take care of where you store them, they will last longer.
You can keep tea bags for up to two years past their expiration date or expiration date, as long as you keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place so they don't spoil. Even though tea bags have a shelf life and shelf life, you can enjoy them for years until they no longer taste good. If the tea leaves are properly stored in a cool, dark place in an airtight container, they can be consumed for more than a year after the expiration date.
Expired tea can be drunk if the storage conditions of the tea are favorable. If your tea is individually packaged and stored securely, you can brew it years after its expiration date without worrying too much about safety. Storing tea under the above conditions can in some cases help keep it fresh even beyond the average expiration date, so it's definitely worth storing it properly if you're storing it for a long time.
As with most things, storing tea in any form at lower temperatures will extend the shelf life of the tea. Freezing the tea after brewing gives the tea a shelf life of 6-8 months.
Brewed tea will keep up to 5 days in the refrigerator and up to 8 months if frozen. In the refrigerator or freezer, tea products can be stored for at least 6-12 months if you pre-pack them. Generally, you can enjoy sealed tea for one to three years. Typically, tea bags and loose tea can be stored six to twelve months past their expiration date when stored in the pantry, and one to two years when stored in the freezer.
|Storage Places||Shelf Life|
While it's always best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and drink your tea before the expiration date, tea bags can usually be kept for at least 1-2 years if stored properly. Unless the tea bags are in bags, which keeps the tea bags fresh longer, I would recommend storing them in an opaque airtight container such as these airtight containers from SilverOnyx. Because heat and light can reduce the quality of tea, store tea bags in an opaque glass container to keep them as cool as possible. If you don't like too strong tea and think you can make another cup or jug out of the same tea bag, the best thing you can do is put it in an airtight container right away to protect it from exposure.

If you choose to store tea in the refrigerator or freezer, be aware that condensation can form, so you can use a vacuum bag or packaging system to reduce the chance of tea spoiling and water getting into the tea. Storing tea in the refrigerator is the best option, especially for vacuum bags. The tea bags themselves contain chemicals that help keep the tea leaves fresh. However, tea bags can be used as long as they are not exposed to moisture or insects that can damage the leaves inside the tea bags.
Dried tea leaves are considered non-perishable goods, which means that they can be stored for a long time without the risk of spoiling. Tea leaves can last for years and will not rot or deteriorate if properly stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Properly stored dried tea leaves do not have an expiration date; however, after 2 years they lose their flavor and nutritional content. Leaves, tea bags and powdered tea can be stored for up to 2 years before the flavor of the leaves fades, provided they are stored in a cool, dark, dry and airtight place.
Dried tea leaves that are stored dry do not spoil, as long as they are kept away from heat, water, light and air, their flavors and phytochemicals can last for up to two years. The good news is that tea usually stays fresh for a while: 3 to 4 months in a bag, and up to a year in a can or other airtight container. To keep your tea fragrant and rich in flavonoids for a year or two, transfer your tea bags or tea leaves to airtight containers as soon as possible after purchase and store them away from stoves and sinks.
If you have a loose-leaf tea that you particularly like, transferring the tea to tea bags before putting it into long-term storage can make it much easier to consume the tea after taking it out of storage if you don't have it. infusor around. Taking these extra measures to store your tea may seem boring at the moment, but you'll appreciate your long-term efforts when finding the right type of tea becomes a breeze. No matter which container you choose to store your tea in, keeping it sealed from light, heat, air, and moisture is your best bet to keep your tea delicious and vital for years to come.
To learn about How To Tell If Mayo Is Bad, check out my other article where I cover things in detail.
Storing tea in the freezer is a great way to prevent mold growth and preserve the flavor and aroma for as long as possible. Tea bags can last for years if the tea bags are stored in cold places with less light, air and moisture, as cold places with less light can inhibit the growth of microbes in the tea bags and prevent loss of leaf flavor. Generally, most teas will keep for two years if stored properly, although green tea has a shorter shelf life and pu-erh tea can last much longer.
Is it OK to use expired tea bags?
Teabags will be good for at least a year to rest in the pantry; even longer, they are still safe to use. They may change their color or flavor. If your tea has an expiry date, it's just for its best taste, not for safety.
How do I know if my tea bag is expired?
As a rule, old tea will basically be less delightful than it ought to be, and taste dull or flat. While old tea isn't typically risky to polish off, it's most certainly a not great tea drinking experience. Assuming your tea has an aftertaste like it's turned sour or then again in the event that you spot apparent form or different indications of deterioration, stay away.
How do you store tea bags long term?
The most effective way to store tea sacks long haul is to placed them in hermetically sealed holders made of metal, clay, or glass. Firmly close the compartments and put them in a dim, dry spot. Keep temperatures between 60° to 80° Fahrenheit (15.5° to 26.6° Celsius). Keep away from direct light, dampness, and solid scents.

ANALYS AV DRIFTSTÖRNNGSDATA FRÅN VATTENLEDNINGSNÄT / analysis of Break Data on Water Pipe Systems
This paper presents some of the results of a statistical smdy on reported bursts of water pipes in five swedish cities. The study is a part of a continuing project called PUFF, with the objective to develop guidelines for long-term maintenance and renewal of water and sewer pipe systems. The work was carried out by studying failures of water pipes relating to pipe age, year of installation, pipe material and climate. All reported bursts of water pipes that have occured during a ten to twenty year period was analyzed. To achieve a geographical distribution the following swedish cities were included in the study: Malmö, Västerås, Örebro, Eskistuna and Luleå. The annual variation of water main bursts was very big, which makes it difficult to find any trend.


text: In this study, a new formula based on artificial neural network (ANN) technique was developed to determine the efficiency of flat-plate solar collectors. In practice, the ANN model can be used for modeling the efficiency of solar collectors with complex structures when other models may have difficulties. Logistic sigmoid transfer function was used in the network. Meteorological data of summer session (from July to September) for Ankara were used as training data in order to train the neural network. Surface temperature in collector, date, time, solar radiation, declination angle, azimuth angle and tilt angle are used in the input layer of the network. The efficiency of flat-plate solar collector is in the output layer. The results show that the maximum and minimum deviations were found 2.558484 and 0.001969, respectively. The advantages of ANN model compared to the conventional testing methods are speed, simplicity, and the capacity of the ANN to learn from examples. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.


Sunlight hits the tracks.
Why does hot weather cause severe rail disruption?
Sunlight hits the tracks.
Soaring temperatures in the UK in July led to rail operators putting in place speed restrictions due to the risk of tracks buckling.
When do tracks buckle?
How does Network Rail prevent buckling?
Where a stretch of track is composed of short rail sections bolted together, gaps are left to allow for expansion.
Does this happen in other countries?
Network Rail said other nations choose a higher stress temperature limit for their tracks, depending on the climate.
Countries with extreme weather conditions adjust their tracks between summer and winter, the company said.
This can include inserting concrete slabs which can better contain track forces than sleepers and ballast.
Network Rail's website said that the "variations in short-term weather and long-term climate" in Britain mean "it is neither practical nor cost-effective" to implement such measures permanently.
It said solid concrete slab tracks costs about four times as much to install as standard ballasted track.
The company also said that stress-proofing Britain's rail track to the levels of hot countries would also create "the risk of increased tension on the rails in the winter".

Adobe Product Representation Compact (PRC) Writer
Licensing options for this format begin with FME Desktop Professional Edition.
The Adobe Product Representation Compact (PRC) Writer allows FME write geometries to the Adobe PRC format.
FME supports PRC version 8137, as defined in the PRC Format Specification.
This format is a binary file consisting of various kinds of 3D data, including trees of 3D entities, tessellations and shared geometries.1
Writer Overview
The PRC writer accepts null, point, curve, area, surface, solid, raster, multi, and aggregate geometries. It also supports shared geometry definitions. Surface geometries must be single-sided and can have appearances, texture coordinates, and vertex normals. Text geometries are represented by their locations. Point cloud geometries are represented by their bounding cubes.
Raster geometries must have at least three bands with respective interpretation values of Red8, Green8, and Blue8. Bands with the interpretation Alpha8 are supported and optional. The only texture wrapping mode that is supported by the PRC Writer is repeat.
PRC does not support color or appearance inheritance for shared geometries. Therefore, each differently colored geometry definition creates a new geometry definition in the PRC file. Geometry instances that share the same color will share the same geometry definition.

Filipina Sex Cams
Foreigners may have various reasons for wanting a Filipino partner, and it's important to recognize that individuals' preferences and motivations can differ greatly. Here are some common reasons why some foreigners are attracted to Filipinos as their partners:
Beauty and physical attributes: Filipinos are often recognized for their unique and diverse physical features. Many foreigners are drawn to the exotic beauty of Filipinos, which can include a range of characteristics such as tan skin, dark hair, almond-shaped eyes, and a generally youthful appearance. These physical attributes can be particularly appealing to individuals from different cultural backgrounds.
Warm and hospitable nature: Filipinos are renowned for their warm and welcoming nature. They are often described as friendly, hospitable, and accommodating. This inherent trait can make them attractive partners, as foreigners may find comfort and a sense of belonging in the company of a Filipino spouse or partner.
Strong family values: Family plays a central role in Filipina sex chat culture, and family ties are highly valued. Foreigners who prioritize strong family connections and a sense of community often find Filipinos appealing. They appreciate the emphasis placed on maintaining close relationships with extended family members and the importance of providing care and support to loved ones.
English language proficiency: The Philippines is one of the largest English-speaking countries in the world. English is widely spoken and taught as a second language from an early age. Foreigners who do not speak Filipino or have limited knowledge of the local language find it convenient to communicate with their Filipino partners in English. This shared language can facilitate better understanding and connection between individuals from different cultural backgrounds.
Cultural compatibility: Filipinos have been exposed to diverse cultures and have developed a flexible and adaptable mindset. They are known for being able to easily assimilate and adjust to different cultures, making them compatible partners for foreigners. Their openness to new experiences and willingness to learn about their partner's culture can contribute to a harmonious and enriching relationship.
Strong work ethic and resilience: Filipinos are known for their hard work, dedication, and resilience. Many Filipinos are willing to go the extra mile to provide for their families and loved ones. This commitment to personal and professional growth can be appealing to foreigners seeking partners who share similar values and aspirations.
Appreciation of traditional gender roles: Some foreigners may be attracted to the more traditional gender roles that are still prevalent in Filipino culture. In many Filipino families, there is a clear division of labor, with women often taking on domestic responsibilities and men assuming the role of the primary breadwinner. Foreigners who appreciate these traditional dynamics may seek out Filipino partners who align with their own values and expectations.
Sense of humor and positive outlook: Filipinos are known for their sense of humor and ability to find joy in even the most challenging situations. Their positive outlook on life and ability to maintain optimism can be attractive to foreigners who value a partner with a lighthearted and positive approach to life.
Intercultural learning and adventure: For some foreigners, being in a relationship with a Filipino partner provides an opportunity for intercultural learning and experiencing a different way of life. They may be drawn to the richness of Filipino culture, traditions, and cuisine, and see their relationship as a gateway to exploring and embracing new experiences.
It is crucial to recognize that these reasons are generalizations and do not apply to every individual. Each person has their own unique preferences and motivations when it comes to choosing a partner, and it is essential to approach these matters with respect and cultural sensitivity. Building a successful and fulfilling relationship ultimately depends on mutual understanding, love, and shared values between partners, regardless of their cultural backgrounds. _URL_

Data Discovery Customization Details
Only application admins can enable sensitive data discovery (SDD) on the Immuta app settings page. Then, data source creators can disable SDD on a data-source-by-data-source basis. Additionally, governors, data source owners, and data source experts can disable any unwanted Discovered tags in the data dictionary to prevent them from being used and auto-tagged on that data source in the future.
Dry run
Users can also configure SDD to do a dryRun, which allows them to see what resulting tags would be applied to a data source without actually applying them. See the Run sensitive data discovery on data sources page for details.
Trigger an SDD job through the API or CLI
Native and non-native SDD can also be triggered through the Immuta CLI or through the API.
Framework overrides
Data governors can create frameworks with overrides. These overrides will be used instead of the specifications within rules.
 - tags is an optional override for the tags applied by the rules.
 - minConfidence is an optional override for the minConfidence established in the rules. When the match confidence is at least the percentage defined in minConfidence, tags are applied.
 - sampleSize is an optional override for how many records to sample from the data source.
Native SDD does not support minConfidence or sampleSize because they are optimized for each data source.
Sample size
SDD uses a sample of data to assess the likelihood that a column contains data that fits the pattern specified in the configured rules.
The default for non-native SDD is to sample 1000 records (the sample size) during this process. However, administrators can configure the sample size on the Immuta app settings page. In general, increasing the sample size increases the accuracy of SDD predictions, but decreasing the number of records sampled during SDD may be necessary to meet some organizations' compliance requirements. Sample size can also be configured as a framework override.
Native SDD's sample size is not configurable because it is optimized for each data source.
SDD workflow
Three common workflows for using SDD are outlined below. The first walks through the SDD customization that can be completed entirely within the UI. The second illustrates how to apply a single global framework to all data sources; while the third outlines how users can create and apply frameworks to data sources they own, both with the API.
Workflow 1: Adjust the global framework for all data sources
Data governor enables and disables rules within the default global framework.
Workflow 2: Apply a global framework to all data sources
 1. Data governor creates a framework using one or more rules.
 2. System administrator adds this framework as the global framework, so that it applies to all data sources.
 3. Users trigger SDD on data sources.
Workflow 3: Apply a framework to a specific data source
 1. Data governor creates one or more rules with patterns:
 2. Data owner creates a framework containing one or more rules.
 3. Data owner applies their framework to one or more data sources.
 4. Data owner triggers SDD on one or more data sources, and resulting tags are applied to columns where criteria were met and patterns were recognized.

Types of traditional settlements and forms of folk houses
Course Syllabus 课程章节1
Settlement is the general name of various forms of human settlements. This class mainly teaches the types of traditional settlements in Shanxi, namely urban settlements and rural settlements. Feel the site selection and layout characteristics of these two settlements through real photos.On this basis, it introduces the forms of folk houses in Shanxi. Shanxi folk houses follow the general law of the construction of folk houses in other local settlements, draw local materials and adjust measures to local conditions. However, due to the great differences in natural and geographical conditions, the forms and styles of folk houses in Shanxi traditional settlements are very different. With the accumulation of years, these residential forms constitute the distinctive characteristics of Shanxi settlements and have unique artistic value.

What is a Thermal Lance?
A Thermic Lance is a steel pipe packed with mixed metal wires.
Pure oxygen gas is passed through the pipe from an oxygen cylinder and regulator. The end of the pipe is lit with a high temperature source, e.g. an oxy-acetylene torch. The iron in the steel burns in the oxygen coming down the pipe to produce enormous heat and a liquid slag of iron oxides and other materials, which dribbles and splashes out, just like an enormous firework sparkler.
The temperature reached in the centre of the combustion zone is approx. 4000 degrees Celsius, greater than the melting point of any substance on earth. By the way of comparison, concrete melts at 1800 - 2500 degrees Celsius and steel at less than 1500 degrees Celsius. Also, because it runs on oxygen, the lance can cut underwater.

I know a Chinese proverbial phrase. Translated literally into English, it says something along the lines of "Sky falls big pancakes". When used negatively in the phrase, "The sky does not fall big pancakes," it is generally used to warn against idleness.
What is the origin of the proverb? Also, I am not really sure if the object is pancakes. It may be a cookie or a flat cake or a flat flour wrap.

天上掉馅饼，means that free and delicious food like pies are falling from the sky. Or its negative form: 天上不会掉馅饼
Nowadays it usually means that people who are lazy are expecting something miracle but impossible will happen to them. For example:
This phrase came from a Chinese myth. After 嫦娥(the lady in the legend who swallowed the elixir stolen from her husband and flew to the moon) went to the moon, 后羿(the man in the legend who shot 9 suns out of 10 and saved the earth from the heat) was very sad and thought about her every day. When 嫦娥 found out his love, she wrote her love on a pie. Because she is on the moon, there came the phrase: 天上掉馅饼
share|improve this answer
Here is an explain by BaiDuPedia in Chinese:天上掉馅饼本指天空中降落类似馅饼那样的即免费又好吃的食物，泛指在自然生活中会无缘无故的发生一些可以满足人们欲望的物质或财富上面的事情；现在也贬指那些坐享其成，成天不务实际的人在假想一些不可能发生的事情，等待出现奇迹，天上怎么可能会掉馅饼。
馅饼 is a common food in China even today, it may be like a salty pie(I'm sorry, I have not met a pie). You get a 馅饼 from sky rather than you cook it, how lucky! You pay no effort. Thus, 天上掉馅饼 means getting something without effort; 天上不会掉馅饼 warns you that this thing will not happen, that is, you'd better do your best to get something. There is a fable story known by everybody in China <守株待兔>, it gives the same warning.

Native Americans used turtle shells as musical instruments
Many indigenous groups believe that the world was formed upon a turtle's back. This symbology and belief is imbued into the turtle shell rattles, which are meant to keep rhythm and thereby interjects powerful symbology and spiritual energy into dances and ceremonies.
Musical instruments have a deep ancient history in human society and are encoded with meanings beyond their sound making capabilities. Researchers from the Florida State University examined the use of turtle shells as percussion instruments in the southeastern United States. They identified and analyzed several partial Eastern box turtle shells from middle Tennessee archaeological sites that they believe were used as rattles.
The researchers noted that turtle shell rattles have been found throughout North America, ranging from Florida to the Northeast and into Canada.

3. 'Unlikely Friendships' by Jennifer s. Holland
Image via Amazon
Unlikely Friendships documents one heartwarming tale after another of animals who, with nothing else in common, bond in the most unexpected ways. A cat and a bird. A mare and a fawn. An elephant and a sheep. A snake and a hamster. The well-documented stories of Koko the gorilla and All Ball the kitten; and the hippo Owen and the tortoise Mzee. And almost inexplicable stories of predators befriending prey—an Indian leopard slips into a village every night to sleep with a calf. A lionness mothers a baby oryx.
Ms. Holland narrates the details and arc of each story, and also offers insights into why—how the young leopard, probably motherless, sought maternal comfort with the calf, and how a baby oryx inspired the same mothering instinct in the lionness. Or, in the story of Kizzy, a nervous retired Greyhound, and Murphy, a red tabby, how cats and dogs actually understand each other's body language. Your heart will expand at seeing this unlikely friendships come to life.
2. 'Wild Justice' by Marc Bekoff
Image via Amazon
Wild Justice by Marc Bekoff tells about the morality animals. Are animals capable of complex emotions such as a understanding of justice?
With this book, the author answers yes and showcases many examples to support their argument: a female Gorilla who mourned the death of her beloved child, a rat who refused to push a lever for food when he saw doing so electrocuted his friend, or a wild elephant who paused to care for a younger one after it was injured. This book shows us that, whether we like it or not, animals are more like us than we think.
1. 'Winter World' by Bernd Heinrich
Image via Amazon
Winter World by Bernd Heinrich is all about how animals survive the harsh winters and the process of hibernation. From flying squirrels to grizzly bears, and from torpid turtles to insects with antifreeze, the animal kingdom relies on some staggering evolutionary innovations to survive winter.
Unlike their human counterparts, who must alter the environment to accommodate physical limitations, animals are adaptable to an amazing range of conditions. Examining everything from food sources in the extremely barren winter land-scape to the chemical composition that allows certain creatures to survive, Heinrich's Winter World awakens the largely undiscovered mysteries by which nature sustains herself through winter's harsh, cruel exigencies.

Want to start your day like an American legend? A pancake recipe from civil rights activist Rosa Parks was recently unearthed by Dan Pashman, the host of The Sporkful podcast. And it features a creamy, protein-rich ingredient.
Parks' secret? Peanut butter. Not only does this nutty ingredient provide flavor to the batter, it also adds extra protein to the breakfast staple (there are six grams of protein in each pancake).
Library of Congress/Rosa Parks Papers
The recipe, scribbled on the back of an envelope by Parks, comes from the recently opened Rosa Parks Collection at the Library of Congress. According to The Washington Post, the collection "features previously unseen personal writings, letters, speech notes, financial and medical records, political documents and decades of photographs."
And it's pretty incredible that among Parks' handwritten account of her bus arrest and postcards written by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., you can also find her handwritten pancake recipe. Because this tells us that apart from being a rebellious badass and lifelong activist who championed black power, Parks also enjoyed eating pancakes just like the rest of us.
Library of Congress curator Adrienne Cannon tells NPR that the "recipe is quintessentially African-American" because of the peanut butter. By 1940, peanut production was second only to cotton in the South.
To make the pancakes just a bit more healthy, try swapping out the all-purpose flour for buckwheat flour. You can also substitute the whole milk with almond milk to make the pancakes dairy-free. And if you're feeling indulgent, top a stack of the cakes with extra melted peanut butter and dark chocolate chips.
Head here for the full recipe: Rosa Parks' Featherlite Pancakes
What Do YOU Think?
Would you put peanut butter in your pancake batter? Are you always searching for the perfect protein-packed breakfast recipes? Would you try Rosa Parks' pancake recipe?

This page attempts to identify all possible locations for every place mentioned in this book of the Bible.
The isobands you see on the map (gray areas with dark borders) attempt to give you confidence where a region is. Because many ancient regions aren't precisely defined, I consulted atlases to determine where the biblical region is located and used that data to build the isobands. The smaller isobands reflect more confidence that the given isoband is in the region, while the larger isobands reflect less confidence. Isobands are a kind of contour line that here indicate confidence levels.

(SOLVED) What is the difference between President Obama's net worth and the mean net worth of all members of the Executive Branch?
Type of Paper: Question-Answer
Academic Level: Undergrad. (yrs 3-4)
Paper Format: APA
Obama's Net Worth As of this writing, Barack Obama is President of the United States and he has a net worth of $3, 670, 505. The 17 members of the Executive Branch have a mean net worth of $4, 939, 455 with a standard deviation of $7, 775, 948 (based on data from opensecrets.org). What is the difference between President Obama's net worth and the mean net worth of all members of the Executive Branch? How many standard deviations is that (the difference found in part (a))? Convert President Obama's net worth to a z score. If we consider "usual" amounts of net worth to be those that convert to 2 scores between - 2 and 2, is President Obama's net worth usual or unusual?
Obama = _PHONE_
EB = _PHONE_, sd = _PHONE_
a) The difference is _PHONE_ -_PHONE_ =-_PHONE_
b) as the Sd is _PHONE_, and the difference is _PHONE_,where SD > Difference
so it lies within 1 standard deviation
c) We know the Z score formula is
Z = X- Mean /SD = (_PHONE_ - _PHONE_ )/_PHONE_ = -0.1631
d)as this z value of -0.1631 lies between -2 and 2, hence the value is normal and usual

We numerically study the propagation of Gaussian beams under superprism refraction conditions inside two-dimensional hexagonal photonic crystals. We employ two-dimensional finite difference time domain calculations, and compare them with theoretical predictions based on plane-wave method calculations. The discrepancies are analyzed in terms of the light propagation in a dispersive negative refraction medium.

text: Porthcurno was once the largest telegraph station in the world. The Grade II listed Eastern House was constructed in 1904 due to overcrowding in the original telegraph station. During World War Two, the strategic importance of the telegraph station meant that it needed protection from enemy bombers. The now Grade II* listed Tunnels were dug into the granite hillside and the station was moved underground in 1941. Above the beach sits the Grade II listed Cable House built in 1929. As the only remaining intact Cable House in the world, it houses the terminals for the 14 undersea cables the come into Porthcurno.


ThingM Project Feature: BlinkM in The MEAL Project
BlinkM in The MEAL Project Creator: Corinna Sherman
For the distracted diner who wants a subtle reminder to assess how full he or she is while eating, the MEAL dish is a weight-sensing dish that illuminates with colored light to give the user a sense of how much food has been eaten since the meal began. Normal dishware provides no feedback, placing the burden of self-monitoring entirely on the individual. Mealtime distractions pose less of an issue, however, when responsive MEAL dishes help people mind their own sense of satiety with subtle, pleasant cues via ambient light.
How It Works:
1. Plug the Arduino into wall outlet and press the power button on the base unit to register the minimum weight of the empty dish.
2. Fill the dish with food. 3 RGB LEDs that are located inside the base unit will pulse red when the minimum amount of weight has been added to enable subsequent monitoring.
3. Press the calibration button on the base unit to register the maximum weight.
4. Each of the dish's three legs sits upon a load sensor. The sensors connect to the Arduino, which monitors the total weight sensed over time. As food is eaten from the dish, the Arduino translates the sensed weight change into a hue shift in the LEDs from red (a color shown to stimulate appetite) to blue (a color shown to promote relaxation).

Chinese Iron Balls
How Iron Balls Are Made
How to Videos
Chinese Iron Balls
Chinese Iron Balls originated in Baoding, China. Baoding, China is said to have three treasures. The first is the iron ball, the second is a sauce made from fermented flour, and the third is potherb mustard. These treasures have been passed down through the generations for over 300 hundred years.
The iron balls were used as a therapy exercise. A pair of balls are held in your hand and rotated in circles around each other. As you rotate, your fingers get a work out and your dexterity improves. It takes a lot of practice to be able to rotate the balls in both directions. Usually it is easy to rotate a pair clockwise, but takes skill to rotate counterclockwise.
The reason the iron balls are good for therapy besides the physical exercise, is that the Chinese believed the iron balls pressed on certain acupuncture points on the hands. This action enhanced the flow of a persons chi energy which promoted good health and long life.
Today they are still used by tai chi classes, physical therapists, musicians, stressed out people, and people with carpal tunnel syndrome just to name a few. Since they have so many applications, they go by many names such as chinese stress balls, health balls, exercise balls, tai chi balls, and baoding balls

The lens of fresh ground water on Pingelap Island, Pingelap Atoll contains about 384 million gallons of potable water. Recharge to the freshwater lens is estimated to be 230,000 gallons per day on the basis of an average annual rainfall of 160 inches. The long-term average sustainable yield is estimated to be about 69,000 gallons per day. The estimated demand for water is about 50,000 gallons per day. Shallow-vertical-tube wells or horizontal-infiltration wells could be used to develop the freshwater lens. The effect of development on the lens can be determined by monitoring the chloride concentration of water from a network of shallow-water-table wells and deep driven wells. The ground-water resource on Pingelap can be used in conjunction with individual rainwater-catchment systems: rainwater can be used for drinking and cooking, and ground water can be used for sanitary uses. When rainwater-catchment systems fail during extended dry periods, ground water would be available to meet the total demand.

 Ministry is an American industrial metal band founded by lead singer Al Jourgensen in 1981. Originally a new wave - synthpop outfit, Ministry changed its style to industrial metal in the late 1980s. Ministry found mainstream success in the early 1990s with its most successful album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs and touring as part of the Lollapalooza festival. After 27 years of performing, Jourgensen decided to end the band in 2008, and since then stated that a reunion would never happen. However, on August 7, 2011, a reunion was announced, when Ministry confirmed that they will play one of their first shows in 4 years at the Wacken Open Air festival in August 2012. Ministry released a new album, titled Relapse, on March 23, 2012, which was followed by a world tour.
